Are there alternatives to restoring the computer besides using the software restore cds? When I use my restore cds it loads up for a bit and then the toolbar at the top appears shows what looks like a battery with an X on it and then shuts off completely. And theres no way to restore it.

By the way Im running Mac OS 10.0 (the first one) and I am trying to use the original OS 8.6 Software Restore cds and then plan on upgrading to OS 9.2 then later on to Panther.

Hmmm. What kind of mac do you have, and are those the system restore cd's that came when you bought the machine?
